These are some of the stunning postcards that have come to me from among the world's most remote places and islands, with a special focus on the scenery, wildlife and culture of Africa. If you live or travel in exotic places, send along a card to display on the site. See also "Africa Stamps" on Facebook or Contact: maravalman @ gmail.com

This lovely card came this week from Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast. It shows the historical architecture of the seaside town of Grand Bassam, once a thriving port.
